For almost half a decade, Helt Studio has set out on a mission to support and celebrate our culinary frontline heroes. Our mission to empower the culinary community through producing functional, high-quality, and trendy kitchen apparel has helped culinary workers feel their best and look good doing it. However, improving the landscape for restaurant workers is so much more than creating the right gear — we want to go even further. 

Helt Studio’s chef blog continues that mission by letting you hear directly from expert contributors in the industry. Hospitality is one of the most complex and labor-intensive businesses in the country. Through providing helpful resources and stories, we hope to help chefs and restaurateurs tackle many of the challenges they often face in the field.

Helt Studio partners with LA sushi legend Chef Mori Onodera of Morihiro Sushi to craft custom aprons and organic linen napkins inspired by the four seasons. Celebrating the opening of his new Sunset Boulevard location, Chef Mori expands from omakase to à la carte dining, adding a curated cocktail program and exclusive sake selection. For this collaboration, Helt Studio designed subtle, detail-driven aprons using DWR Denim and navy crossback straps, reflecting the refined artistry and precision at the heart of Japanese cuisine.

Our blog features articles about uniforms and chef wear, culinary tips, restaurant trends, leaders in hospitality, industry advice, anecdotal stories, recipes, and other relevant content. Whether you’re a chef, barista, bartender, busser, server, or restaurant manager — our chef blog serves as a useful and invaluable tool to help you grow in your career. 

Culinary workers have been neglected by the industry for far too long. We’re passionate about changing that — giving culinary workers the support, resources, and appreciation they deserve. 

After all, aprons are just capes worn backward.
